1.                  Sift flour and salt together.

Recipe for Pastry was taken from Better Homes and Garden New CookBook, the chapter on “Pastry”, page 230 the Third Printing 1970.  The original recipe has, however, been altered a little in the case of butter and shortening.  The original recipe called for all shortening to which I used half of each butter/margarine and shortening.  

Recipe for Quiche Filling was taken from Better Homes and Gardens All-Time Favorites, the chapter on “Main Dishes” page 33.  All-Time Favorites is a mini cookbook of all the time-honored recipes, taken from the 11 editions of the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book.
